Many of the houses on the North side of
the street were damaged/destroyed in the bombing of WW2

William BALDOCK built about 26 houses at
the upper end of St. George's Place on the left hand side of the road.
William MOSS (of St. George's Street) and Thomas COOPER also built
houses here.

St. George's Place (north side), in 1941.
All (except a few buildings nearest the parked car) were burnt out
in the June 1942 blitz. Between the wars, this side was popularly
known as 'Doctor's Row', because of the sheer number of doctors who
lived or practised here.

The suburb of St.
George's is of greater extent; it includes St. Sepulchre's, the borough
of Longport, and the manor of Barton; it contains many handsomely
built mansions, and has been greatly improved by a row of elegant
and well built houses in St. George's Place, the commencement of the
New Dover Road. 1838

House) was opened under the charge of the Rev. Leonard Evans. Moreover,
temporary accommodation was found by placing some of the boys under
the care of Mrs. Evans at "The Haven", St. Stephens, others
in the Precentor's house....Further expansion in the School was met
by the opening of a boarding house by Mrs. Bell in 1902 "Wingfield
House" and by Mr. Evans change from "Winchelsea House"
to a larger one in the old Dover road, known as "Holme House"
Of these, the former can accomodate twelve and the latter twenty-eight

new forms. ...Schola Regia Cantuariensis (King's School) 1908"

*Canterbury, May 25th, 1880

Sir, both for the dignity of the profession,
and the eventual good and moral training of the patient, I consider
that the consultant should in all cases communicate with the ordinary
medical attendant, whether the consultant be chosen by the patient
with or without his approval. This is the only way in which the running
about for promiscuous medical advice can possibly be restrained. It
is as necessary for us to teach our patients how to behave as to secure
the best and most successful treatment for their maladies, if we wish
to make our profession what it ought to be.

I never think of receiving a patient under
my care until I have ascertained all the previous course and treatment
of the case; and if I find the patient is still under some one's supervision,
I should not think of treating him continuously, except in concert
with his former attendant. This is the only way in which we can behave
fairly to one another or to our patients.

Difference of opinion are chiefly created
by the patients themselves, or imply the keeping back of some essential
part in the history of the case. To ignore the value of independent
opinions is foolish; to assume omniscience is delusive.

If we do not behave fairly to one another,
we damage our profession status and the estimation in which the public
should hold us.
